Spring is expected to build with LLVM versions 7 through 11. As #578 is worked this range of versions will change to include newer versions. I'd like to have a way to demonstrate that newer versions do indeed compile and test successfully beyond "trust me bro".
So add a simple manually dispatched workflow that compiles with all supported LLVM major versions. This seems like a good enough tradeoff over doing something vastly more complex in CI, and I certainly do not want this to run on every PR. The main risk I see is that since this workflow is disparate to the primary per-PR build workflow it can potentially get out of date; such as the build dependencies or
cmake
/ctest
arguments going stale. I feel like that's an acceptable risk at the moment.A run of this workflow can be found here,
